Hello. I've been having random BSOD's and video driver crashes when playing DotA 2 for about a week now. They happen mostly constantly every 5-10 minutes. Sometimes nothing happens for up to 30 minutes. I ran memtest but nothing came up. Happens only when playing DotA.

Hi Guy and welcome to 7forums! :)

I would recommend that you download and use Revo Uninstaller to take away all of you AMD graphics card drivers, reboot and reinstall fresh drivers from AMD. You can use their Autodetect Tool: AMD Driver Autodetect

And then we will continue from there onwards.

Cheers, Boris :)

Hello, thank you. :)

Uninstalled the old drivers and installed new ones.

Well the other BSOD was a 0x124 which is a hardware complaint.

Now I'm not certain if it was due to the graphics card or not but we can wait and see what the next BSOD says if there will be one at all.
